And we couldn't have to lead us on,
A better man than Tilden.

And all the people swindled;
Expenses every year increase,
While revenues have dwindled.
'Tis time to drive the rats and mice

And him we call Sam Tilden.

Needs work that he is skilled in,

STATIC OF GEORGIA,

Atlanta, July 25, 1860.
Circular No. 28.
The grasshoppers which have
appeared in many sections of the
State are, without doubt, the Hate
ful Grasshopper of the West that
dreaded post that has, during the
last few years, destroyed entire
growing crops, reducing the people
to the point of famine. They are
now in the first and comparatively
helpless stage of their existence.
They will grow rapidly and in
the course of a few weeks will be
able to fly. They will then de
posit eggs in the earth by millions.
Next year these eggs will hatch
and there will be millions where
there uro now only dozens.
You are earnestly| advised to de
stroy them now, before they can
fly, and before their eggs are den
posifetj,
They u;m be driven into piles of
dry straw and burned.
Thousands may be destroyed by
active men and boys with brush.
Nets may be made similar to
partridge nois, of some cheap mate
rial, with widoly extended wings.
The insects can be driven iike birds
into these nets or snares and de
stroyed.
By every means in your power,
and that can be devised by your
ingenuity, utterly exterminate
them and save our State from a
plague, such as we have never ex
perienced.
I respectfully suggest that you
lay all other business aside, unite
together and mako common cause
and oombinod attack against the
enemy.
By concert of action, and imme
diat3 persistent efforts the evil may
he averted.
Amu arc respectfully invited to
send to this Department, all valua
ble facts as learned from your ob
servation and experience in rela
tion to the grasshoppers, the ex
tent of damage, what means of
destruction found to be most effec
tive, etc. Very respectfully,
Tiiomas P. Janes,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

Several negroes were together

of Ilia actioHTJr control. During
the conversation a bolt of lightning

VETCHES.
ITS CHARACTER, GROWTH AND
VALUE AS A SOUTHERN FOR
AGE PLANT.
\ etches, like lucerne and eloyer,
to which class it properly belongs,
requires a rich mellow soil in which
the seed may be propagated and
send deep its roots into the ground.
Being a nitrogenneous plant,
like clover and succulent in its
character, it is still hardier and
much better adapted to lower lat
itudes than red clover. It will
stand the hot burning sun of mid
dle and lower Georgia, developing
in its growth a remarkable adapta
bility to various conditions of soil
and climate. It derives its chief
value as a selling, or forage plant,
not only from the highly nutrious
elements that enter into its organ
ization ; but from its very wonder
ful production.
An acre, well prepared and fer
tilized, will yield from two to four
tons otthe very best hay. Vetch
is propagated from a little dark or
lead colored pea, that is enclosed
in a Small hull. When the pod
beoomes dry, it bursts open throw
ing the seed in every direction. Af
ter the first crop lias been cut and
fed away to eows, mules and hors*
es ; the second growth will yield an
abundant crop of seed in the month
of July. Tho vines or vetch plant,
having examted itself in the pro
duction of its seed dies down. The
lot may be grazed or used as a cow
pen again, till the middle of Au
gust, when everything should he
turned under with a two horse plow.
In a few days, cross break and har
row in three bushels of barley or
one bushel of rye per acre, top
dressing at the same time, with
stable manure or guano if desired.
The vetch seed and rye or bar
ley will all come up together, the
grain growing off promptly, afford
ing a winter pasture for calves,
milch cows, colts cr mules ; until
January or Febuary, when the
vetch, which appears all the win
ter to have been asleep,uow springs
into new life and vigor, almost ta
king possession of tlic entire ground.
From this time until the 20th, of
Maroh, it may be grazed with im
punity, but alter that time all stock
must come off; giving it time to
develop into a crop of hay.
It is better to soil vetch in our
opinion than it is to euro it for hay,
observing, always, to cut in the
morning, for use that day. Fed
in this way, no plant can equal it
in value. In appearance it resent
hies lucerne, growing tall and den
sely thick, requirring the use of a
grass hook to mow it. It is eaiN
lier in this latitude, (thirty-two and
a half north latitude) than red clo
ver, is equally as rich in starch, su
gar and albuminoids ; and contains
a large amount of nitrogen, potash,
and phosphoric acid.
Vetch is largely planted in Ire
land and Scotland as a forage plant.
It is equally appreciated with tho
best laguminous plants.
Ono bright morning in the city
of “Edinboro,” four years ago the
writer was strolling down passed
the house of John Knox, on his
way to “Holyroot Cemetery,” he
observed setting in front of a shop,
one half bushel of vetch seed, the
identical seed of which he is now
writing about, of the same size and
color, ho has planted for years here
in Georgia.
This year our acre lot has been
unusually fine, yielding an im
mense quautity of the best forage,
for a dozen mules and four cows
during four weeks time.
It requires at least two years
time, from the first sowing to pro
duce good results’from the vetch, —
After that, it is *elffseeding and
becomes invaluable.
A gentleman by the’name of
Thomas Persons, formerlv of Tal
betton, first introduced a few vetch
seed in a dry goods box from the
•North by accident, which were
thrown in a lot of stra w in his gar
den. One day while walking in
his garden,he observed aome plants
of unusual character, very Inxuri
ant aud foreign in appearance,
which he determined to experiment
with, and consequently planted all
the seed lie could gather, with nice
preparation, on a lot of ground. In
a few years Mr. Persons had eight
acres, from which he fed all kinds
of stock with great benefit and to
his perfect satisfaction. His entire
field, eight acres, would average
waist high and a prettier sight \vc
never beheld in the clover regions
of the North.
From that day, till this, it has
been called, around Talbotton, the
Persons pea, and hence, it was I
exclaimed, on beholding the halt
bushel in Fdinboro, Scotland, why,
here’s the ‘-Person’s pea.”
In the vetch, we have got an in
valuable forage plant for Georgia
being thoroughly adapted to our
climate and soil, productive in
yield, and very nutritious in blood
and flesh producing qualities. _
A good cow, fed upon vetch, will
give three to five grlions of milk
per day. Mules and horses eat it
with avidity, without serious derrn
ment to their digestion.
A lot once sown in vetch must
never be cultivated, or it will re
quire resowing. Followin'? our
suggestions, every fftrnier in Geor
gia can have a rich lot of vetch . per
petuating itself, annually, from
the seed, which we belive will be
worth fifty dollars a year. We
have had vetch on our plantation
for the past fifteen years, which to
day, we would norbe without.
Several years since, wishing to
have anew lot, we paid one of Mr.
James Stinson’s little boys one dol
lar a pint for six pints, to sow one
acre; the best investment we ever
made. That lot has -t '*vcd us fifty
dollars this year, 'arfti we shall in
crease it by sowing another lot ad
joining, this fall.
We write this article in the in
terest of this very valuable forage
plant, hoping to stimulate some ef
fort on the part of our agricultural
communities in Georgia, in its pro
duction, regarding a diversity of
products on the farm, as the begin:
niug of wealth and independence.
Those who would desire to exo
priment with a small lot, at first,
we say, make your land rich by
cowpenning, or manuring, prepare
it well for the seed, and in Septem*
ber, after sowing down your rye
or barley, at the rate of three pints
to the half acre, harrow in or scu
ter this quanity of vetch seed.
Mr. Jas. Stinson, Talbotton, Ga.,
who grows vetch to perfection, is a
neighbor of ours and his little boys’
he informs us, have gathered sever
al bushels of seed, which they de
sire to sell, at one dollar per pint,
we will say, post paid, to any part
of the South. The seed are very
tedious to gather and are well
worth (lie price, to anew beginner.

The character of the
youim men of a community
depends much on tht> yfine young
women. If the latter are cultivat
ed, intelligent and accomplished,
tho young men will feel the require
ment that they themselves should
be upright, gentlemanly and refin
ed ; but if their female friends arc
frivolous and silly, the young men
will be found dissipated and worth
less- But, remember, that always
a sister is but the guardian of a
brother’s integrity. She is the
surest inculcator of faith in female
puiity and worth. Asa daughter,
she is the true light of home. The
pride of the father oftenesfc centers
in his sons, but his [.flection is ex
pended on his daughters. She
should, therefore, be the sun and
center of all.

Mr. Joseph Pond. It measures
seven feet four inches in length,
three feet four inches in height, is
full thirty inches across tho back,
girths nine feet and weighs 1510
pounds. It has been fed on milk,
with small quanities of corn occa
sionly to give solidity to his flesh,
and shows that no particular pains
have been taken to give it an artifi
cial appearance. Its hair is rough
its skin and flesh rough and thick
with danruff, and it is by no means
a thing of beauty. Still it is
claimed that it is the largest and
heaviest hog on the globe. Mr.
Bush proposes to exhibit it as a
special curiosity of American pro

where over 200 employees are busy
around their clicking instruments
four 2 12 inch tubes rise close to

and arch down in two double semi
circles. The pipes are the pneu*
matie tubes just introduced to con

Stock Exchange in Broad street,
and at the Cotton Exchange iu
Pearl Street. The message is en
cased in a sole-leather tube, cover.>
<‘d with felting, about six inches
long, like an ordinary leather dice
box, but with a broader dangle of
felting at one end, which fits tight
to the brass tube.—The other end
is open for the reception of the roll
ed up niajq-icrp save t that a broad
clastic band holds the contents in
place. Each tube can be made at

regulated by stop-cocks, by means
of which the air is either turned
on or exhausted. The time of the
transmission of a message is twenty
five seconds. The brass tubes run
down to the basement,' and thence
three feet under ground down

Cotton Culture in India.
At the regular half-yearly mocU
iug of the stockholders of the
Great India Peninsula Railroad
held in London three weeks since,
one fact of much interestto Ameri
cans was made prominent. The
chief part of this line extends south
from Bombay through one of the
largest cotton growing districts of
British India. The chairman sta-<
ted tnat the cotton crop in all parts
ot India connected with their road
had been poor ; but, even suppose
the crop had been an overage or a
good one, the company would not
have had a great deal to carry, on
account of prices being so low at
Biver|>ool. “It was hardly worth
' while/’ he sjid. “to report cotton
at the present prices.” During the
past hall year the road had carried
but 25,000 tons of cotton, against
55,000 tons in the corresponding
halt year of 1875. The decrease
of 30,000 tons is equal to nearly
300,000 of the small India bales.
The attention of their yots, now
that cotton has become an unprofi**
table crop, appears to be directed
to a larger extent than ever before
to the cultivation of oils, seeds,
grain, ground nuts, hides and horns
—articles in which the decline in
price has in no ease been so marked
as in cotton. The increased pro
duction of these articles more than
compensated the company for the
filling oft* in cotton. Of linseed
the road transported only 9(>o tons
in 1872; in 1873, 4,800 tons; in
1874, 10,000 tons: and in 1875,
25600 tons. Of teel seed, which is
largely used for cattle feeding and
other purposes, they carried 5,000
tons in 1872 : in 1873, 9,000, 1871
11,000 ; and in 1875, 14,000. The
increase in wheat was also remarks
